hi Lawrence
I'd like to think that this is simply just an isolated incident, "a few bad
apples" or simply a tactical mistake.
Perhaps, the last spasms of the Bush presidency as it seeks to rush through
every ultra-right policy and action it can manage in its last days.
I do suspect, however. that there is a systemic aspect to this that will
continue during the Presidency of Our Obama. May the Supreme Diety Bless Him
and Hold Him Safe in Hiss Mission of Ch-ch-ch-Change.
My guess is that, the financial, economic, and other crisis, will be used by
the disaster-capitalists to push through much wanted ch-ch-changes... and
since organics food is now a corporate market - Organic Walmart, corporate
Biodynamics etc... the same brutal rules of corporate capitalism apply.
I can imagine a lobbyist or donor arguing "look, the damn hippies are
communists, dop smoking pagans, they have been flouting the laws, there food
is unsafe, and they dont pay taxes. You can get cheaper, safer organic food
at Walmart Organics (replace with whatever is the local corporate organic
outlet). God damn it Congressmen/Representative. We need to shut these
people down!"
one way to shut-down these independent, local, community projects is
compliance costs - legal, insurance, accounting, health... another is
massive interruption like this... a kind of Shock Treatment that would
almost kill any living thing
if there is a New Green Deal in the USA, one of the groups in that
coalition, will be liberal farm groups... and if Obama's history to date
means anything, that will not involve anyone or any group that has not
totally bought into the Green-Capitalism paradigm..
no doubt there will be lots of PR and some small things done for the
grass-roots organisations, but like under Clnton, Blair, Hawke-Keating
(Australia) the playing field balance will be quietly and deliberately
tilted towards the "good greens"... i.e corporate and financial capitalism
green start-ups and corporations
its interesting, perhaps extremely scarey to note, how this might also be
conisdered a part of a general domestic terrorism campaign against the
"watermelons" - green on the outside, red on the inside.. eco-communists...
these food coops are a hotbed of ecoterrorist activity.. its the Green Scare
obviously the Amish need to go to, pascifists...
to me, this is sounding a lot like the pre-war years in Nazi Germany..
remember folks, the Great Depression wasnt ended by the New Deal, it was
ended by World War 2. Which was started by a formerly liberal democracy,
that had slowly converted to a totalitarian fascist state
whether we can afford another anti-fascist war within the context of climate
change ?
obviously, this is heresy, and I will whip myself for my sins against Our
Obama Fatherland, Bless Him and Save Him and Protect Him from the
watermelons...
